Shahrukh and Deepika face ban over using mobile phone

Farah Khan directed
multi-starrer film ‘Happy New Year’, nearing completion, and she, extra-cautious
about guarding the looks of her leading actors, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika
Padukone so, has banned the use of mobile phones on the sets.

Although the first-look
poster of the movie was released on January 2 this year, there is more to the
characters and the film that the director wants to keep under wraps for the
moment. Images clicked by the crew on sets and leaked online may mar the
curiosity of fans waiting to see SRK and Deepika Padukone together on the big-screen
once more after they paired in the blockbuster, ‘Chennai Express’.

It was reported that pictures
from the ‘Happy New Year’ shoot have already made it to the net. Some background
dancers had clicked the pictures of the shooting and put them online. Earlier, during
the film’s shooting in Dubai, some photos were leaked, too.

To stop any more leaks
online, the director has decided to ban the use of mobile phones with cameras
on the sets. It is clear that Farah does not want to reveal any details about
the movie at this juncture.

“Some background dancers
had been called from outside and they clicked some pictures. This upset the
producers since they don’t want to reveal the film’s looks at this time. They
have now banned the use of cell phones on the sets of the film. In fact, this
ban was announced earlier, but the makers are stricter about it now,” says a
leading tabloid quoting its source.

SRK will be playing the
role of a con artist in the film, which has Deepika in the role of a Marathi
dancer opposite him.

‘Happy New Year’ is a
Bollywood action comedy-drama film produced by Gauri Khan under the banner of
Red Chillies Entertainment. The cast of the movie includes Deepika Padukone and
Shah Rukh Khan in the leads, with supporting roles by Abhishek Bachchan, Boman
Irani, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah.

The music of the movie is
being composed by the duo, Vishal-Shekhar. It is reported that popular singer
Sukhbir will do a special number for the film. The movie has a song called ‘Indiawaale’
as revealed by the makers. According to reports, Arijit Singh and Shreya
Ghoshal will perform two romantic ballads in the film.
